Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for spinal cord injury, loss of use of bladder, and loss of use of bowel were granted. The claims for loss of use of left and right lower extremities were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's spinal cord injury was aggravated by his service-connected cervical osteoarthritis, and this caused or aggravated the other conditions.
